Today’s carbs.

Hi kev-w of course you were missed. Great to see you posting. Whoop!
Husband and self have been trying to shift ruby wedding holiday and Christmas excess weight. We have just had one blow out a week for the last 3. Today was the day (hit my target weight this morning)
Rasps and yoghurt
Salmon en croute a large portion
Lots of green veg
Rebeccas Christmas pud and cream
1 piece 95% choc
G&T
Brandy onoud
1/2 bottle of red.
 
After today’s lunch out I have to admit to not being hungry but more peckish.
An omelette seemed the best bet. Usually have a cheese omelette but decided to try something different...... a corn beef omelette wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.
Bolused for the protein, not exactly a carby meal. May have to give myself a warning for not posting on topic.
 
Hello again, I lied, I had alpro plain yogurt mixed with vegan protein powder and organic prebiotic powder with a large banana, 25g.
Came home after work, I had a cheese roll, I guessed 30g, a lot of crisps 50g, egg mayo 2g and a banana 20g. Curry is still on the plan though
 
Nice to see you back kev
 
Brekkie 4 ryvita and cheese
Lunch mixed cheese sandwich and a bag of ready salted crisp.
Tea beef curry fried rice
 
Breakfast - usual 60g of crunchy nut cornflakes
Dinner - just 2 sandwiches, milkshake and packet hula hoops 124g
Tea - home made burgers x3 bread rolls an a Solero ice cream. 98g
Not even close to being brown bread after them carbs.....and a steady 6 on the olde blood meter
 
In the absence of buses home whilst an accident was being cleared and the absence of any enthusiasm to cook anything when i got home, the Supermarket Cafe provided cheese and mushroom omelette and chips. 50g carbs was the conservative estimate in case I really ended up walking the 3 miles home. With the shopping and the half a repeat prescription.

I think I over estimated. Or my insulin sensitivity is good right now. Just about to have a few more carbs before bed.
 
Usual breakfast ryvita and cheese
Dinner omlette with ham cheese and peppers .
Tea 2 cheese burgers no buns and a box of micro chips only 30g and jelly an double cream
 
Hello, aunt Irma came to visit so all I wanted was sugar.

I had alpro yogurt with vegan protein powder and a banana 25g. Haribos to treat hypos at work and when I got home, I had boiled eggs 2g and cucumber 0, followed up by a chocolate doughnut 30g, caramel waffle 28g and chocolate biscuit 15g.
 
Full English out this morning. Egg, bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, potato slices, toast and fried bread.
Small piece malt loaf with a coffee mid afternoon.
Just back from an hours walk which bypasses a local chippy. A tray of chips with plenty of salt and vinegar was not to be missed.
 
Hello,

I had 200g alpro vanilla Greek yogurt 13.2g with vegan protein power, prebiotic powder and maca powder (5-6g) and a large juicy banana 20g.
 
Back in the UK now and the suitcases unpacked. On the outward journey the missus had filled 1 case with British foodstuff (fairly typical filipina behaviour it seems) and used the case to bring Pinoy brands back.

So had cake for breakfast today (well it needs to be eaten before it goes stale, right?). Have missed spicy food so we have a home made curry (with rice) for supper so let's see if I get the bolus correct.

Blood sugars a little high at the moment but back to work tomorrow with the boring diet.
 
Well the weather has played a big part today.
Omelette for breakfast.
Roast beef and pork for dinner ( on offer at Morrisons ), along with roasts , mash and veg.
Oh and an apple.
That’s it for today. Stayed in most of day doing as little as possible.
 
Breakfast ryvita and cheese.
Dinner lamb roasties mash and veg (delish)
Tea sausage and tomatoes on toast
 

….and of course, some diets are more equal than others.
 
Evening lovely people.
A work day albeit a quiet one.
Granola & yogurt.
1 tuna & tomato chutney sandwich on brown bread.
Banana ( post gym )
At this point I arrived home and asked my wonderful OH what dinner was ?
“ It’s a surprise “ she replied.
“Carbs ? “ I enquired
“Yes “ came the reply.
At this point I just pre bolused 8 units.
Dinner was......yesterday’s left over pork, rice, condensed chicken soup, peas, carrots and onions all baked in the oven. I was surprised to say the least. Nonetheless is was delicious but did require a further 6 units.
Finished off with a pudding.....an apple.
